All budding Entrepreneurs need someone to look up to and who better to admire than these five prominent Business Magnates?
SIMON COWELL-We all know Mr. Cowell from his TV hits X Factor and American Idol but life hasn't always been so good for him. having acheived some success in the music business Simon lost it all in his early thirties and had to move back in with his mother. Some would have given up at this stage and settled for a life of mediocrity, not Simon Cowell. Through hard work, self belief and determination Simon has reached the top through the success of his Syco TV and Music businesses which contribute to a net worth of around $200million.
MICHELLE MONE-The Glaswegian founder of the ubiquitous 'Ultimo' lingerie brand is estimated to be worth around £55million. Michelle has successfully juggled the stresses of motherhood and business and shows us that it is possible to,'have it all'.
SIR PHILLIP GREEN-So how did this boy from Croydon amass a fortune worth in excess of £4.3 billion? The answer-Retailing. Sir Phillip's Arcadia group includes high street brands such as 'Topshop' and 'BHS'. Green started in business by importing Jeans from the Far East to sell to UK retailers. Evidence of his genius was illustrated in his decision to purchase several designer labels for rock bottom prices from brands going into administration. The young Entrepreneur then had the clothes dry cleaned, placed on hangers, then wrapped in polythene to appeal to consumers. You don't do as well as this man has without being a shrewd operator.
MIKE ASHLEY-The current owner of Newcastle Football Club has made a fortune from Sports retailing. Sports Direct International has been a success as a result of Ashley's strategy of buying failing brands for bargain prices and then selling them in his Sports Direct Stores. Donnay, Kangol, Dunlop are just a few of the brands the retailing mastermind has snapped up to corner the Sportswear market in the United Kingdom. There are £1.268billion reasons to take note of the Business nous this man has.
